, as long as it’s related to official duties. The 6-3 decision, powered by the court's conservative majority, may be the closest the United States has ever come to imbuing the president with kinglike powers.
During his first term, Trump frequently posted tweets and made other public pronouncements that moved stocks and other tradeable assets. Sometimes he attacked a particular company, suggesting it might face withering legal scrutiny; other times he issued updates on his trade war that sent stocks up or down.
Impeachment and conviction also remain an option since the court ruling doesn't do anything to change Congress's role. Trump probably doesn't have to worry about that, though, given that half of Congress will probably be lined up to cash in on all the new moneymaking opportunities if there's another Trump regime.
Trump’s harshest critics bemoan the possibility that President Trump 2.0 could order the assassination of political rivals and suffer no consequences. But his henchmen could take the fall, since the immunity cloak applies only to the president. So if Trump ordered Seal Team 6 to assassinate, the SEALs could face prosecution for carrying out an unlawful order, or just plain murder. Trump might have to make the hit himself.
